Intelline makes the world's most efficient fuel agnostic engines for…
Intelline makes fuel agnostic engines for practical, clean, and low-cost industrial power. Our first customers are in data center energy infrastructure and oil & gas production. Our engine generate electricity with even the most difficult fuels like flare gas, while reducing fuel OPEX by 40%. There are 1,000,000 new heavy duty engines produced per year, and at an average $50k per heavy duty engine this is a $50B market opportunity. Our generator can efficiently run emerging fuel types that traditional diesel engines can't use (flare gas, syngas, ammonia, hydrogen), and can switch between fossil fuels and any other liquid/gaseous fuel while running. Full size running prototype successfully tested April 2025.
Intelline develops CAVIE modular engine systems that are fuel-agnostic and scalable for industrial power needs, from kilowatts to megawatts. Their approach emphasizes low fuel consumption, multi-fuel capability, and modularity for various sectors. They position the systems as suitable for standalone generation, vehicle propulsion, and large-scale power applications.
CAVIE modules are modular generator units that can be stacked and configured to deliver up to 2 MW. Each module can adjust displacement, compression, valve lift and timing, and fuel injection to maintain high efficiency across loading ranges. They support multi-fuel capability (fossil, biofuel, synthetic, or hydrogen) without hardware changes and can be configured as standalone gensets or parallelized for larger demand. Modules are designed for easy service with quick swaps, provide zero-downtime options, and enable scalable deployment from a few kW to hundreds of MW. They enable vehicle propulsion for hybrid drivetrains and can be retrofitted to support future fuel systems.
Who it’s for: Industrial operators and infrastructure owners needing reliable, fuel-agnostic power, spanning data centers, marine propulsion, defense, hybrid vehicles, construction, mining, remote communities, and manufacturing.
